The Inner Plateau is a very extensive plain in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula.
There are two mountain ranges on the Inner Plateau: the Central Mountain Chain
and the Mountains of Toledo. The Central Mountain Chain divides the Inner Plateau
in two: the Northern Sub-plateau and the Southern Sub-plateau.
Four mountain ranges surround the Inner Plateau: the Mountains of Leon, the
Cantabrian Chain, the Iberian Mountain Chain and the Morena Range or Sierra
Morena.
Beyond the Inner Plateau there are five mountain ranges: the Galician Massif, the
Basque Mountains, the Pyrenees, the Catalan Coastal Chain and the Baetic
Mountain Chain. There are two principal river basins beyond the Inner Plateau: the
Guadalquivir basin and the Ebro basin or depressions.
